Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Organic Cotton Slub Crew Neck Sweatshirt Sweater

Let me say to begin with I loved this sweater, definitely a favorite. Unfortunately It ended up at Goodwill today. I ordered by size chart my usually size L. It was a little oversized but still doable. The more I washed it the larger it got. Tried the dryer but no help. Finally had to just give up and donated it. Could try again with a medium but not risking losing anymore money..very disappointed

Making a sweat shirt style in a,sweater makes it a dressier look. The texture is very soft.

The fit is too square. Not flattering at all. Disappointed

I love this lightweight sweater! I bought the black and it is so pretty and comfortable; dressier than a sweatshirt by itself and can easily be dressed up even more. If only there were other dark colors, I would buy them all!

I wanted to like this sweater, but the material was a bit thin and the length of both the bodice and the sleeves was too short. I usually wear a Medium in LL Bean tops, but this one was just too short. I think a Large would have been too big in the torso. It's a nice style, I just wish more of these were available in Tall to get some extra length.

The shirt is comfortable and true to size. It is slightly see through, which needs to be kept in mind. It also looks like it might require special care in washing, which I don't believe was mentioned in the description. Would still get again.

I love the fit. Material not quite as soft as I hoped but it's lightweight. Hasn't been through the was so we will see if it gets softer

Light weight, green is soft color, useful as summer weight.

This was basically very nice, but the fabric was lightweight and thin. I ordered the blush color. A dark skirt or pants can be seen through the bottom of the sweater. The style wasn't very flattering on me. I returned it.

Comfortable, nice fabric. Size is true to fit. I ordered the green option and the color was very nice.

Love the sweater. Fits great, material is soft and comfy. Not crazy about hand washing, but still love the sweater.

Gorgeous color! Fairly thin weight. Arms and torso are both shorter than I anticipated. If you prefer a longer cut, I'd skip this one.

Good quality

Nice fabric and pretty colors. I returned them (bought 2) because they are extremely wide under the armpits, like "batwings", lacks in structure.

Great fit and I love the color. But the material is scratchy.

I loved the look and feel of the sweater, but after washing, the sweater it seems to hang wide at the waist and wrinkles quickly.

I was hoping for more. The sweater is okay, but it shrank up a bit and the neck doesn't lay flat

I put this in a mesh bag and washed it on the gentle cycle. It came out of the wash very wrinkled. I placed it on a mesh screen to dry flat as instructed, but it remained very wrinkled as it dried.

I was disappointed how thin this sweater is. It looked like an old sweater right out of the bag.

Washed it only twice and already there is a gaping hole under the arm.

Loved it; wore it once, laundered it on delicate cycle and laid it flat to dry. The neckline is stretched out, as if I'd had it forever. Debating whether to return it.

I have this sweater in a few colors from previous years. This year it is smaller and shorter. I would go up a size but I think it would still be too short. And I am only 5'3".

Since this item was called a "sweatshirt", I expected a sweatshirt weight, but it is definitely a light sweather weight instead. Also, the nice blue color in the photo is pretty washed out, definitely more gray, in the actual article. It was useful enough that I kept it, though, and it has been an okay addition to my wardrobe.
